To wash and rinse our souls of their age-old sorrows,We drained a hundred jugs of wine.A splendid night it was . . . .In the clear moonlight we were loath to go to bed,But at last drunkenness overtook us;And we laid ourselves down on the empty mountain,The earth for pillow, and the great heaven for coverlet
Li BaiGrowing older, I love only quietness: who need be concerned with the things of this world? Looking back, what better plan than this: returning to the grove.
